Yes, he’s known as the smooth operator (by all means listen to the song) , “moderate Muslim” Tarik Ramadan is often seen as leading the way on a compromise between Muslim and non-Muslim Europe (better known today as Euro-Islam). Author Bruce Bawer notes in his book that in 2003 Tarik was asked by France’s minister of the interior (Nicolas Sarkozy) to “demonstrate his moderation by doing two
things: one, tell Muslim women to remove their veils, and two, declare his opposition to the stoning of adulteresses. Tarik refused the first request; in response to the second, he suggested a ‘moratorium’ on stoning. ‘That way,’ he said, ‘you start a dialog.’ ” By the way, Tarik has been denied exit to the U.S. and France because of terrorist ties. I guess Tarik could use just a little more moderation.
See the Chris Hitchens article on Tarik. Also see the N.Y. Times piece on him; even they weren’t taken in.
